According to foreign media reports, recently, the French company Alstom (Alstom) in Malaga, Spain demonstrated the latest ground-based charging system-SRS, the system has been verified, dedicated to electric buses. As part of the pilot project of the PALOMA in the southern city of Spain, an SRS prototype is powering an electric bus at a bus stop in front of the University of Malaga ’s School of Industrial Engineering. The 12-meter Linkker electric bus is connected. The bus runs on Line 1 and is operated by local transport operator EMT.

PALOMA (Prototype for Alternative Operation of Travel Assets) is a pilot project co-funded by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (European Regional Development Found) and the CDTI (Spanish Industrial Technology Development Center) financing organization. Alstom is becoming the leader of an alliance that also includes Spanish utility provider Endesa and electrification contractor Mansel, with the support of the city of Malaga, transport operator EMT and the University of Malaga, the goal is To create the world's first prototype of an automated ground fast charging system for 100% pure electric buses.
All cities are committed to achieving ambitious decarbonization goals, and the goals of cities such as Paris, Brussels and Madrid are to completely eliminate diesel locomotives by 2030. Electric buses occupy an important position in such goals, driving the demand for charging systems that must be efficient, unobtrusive, and compatible with the growing fleet of electric buses.
The SRS system developed by Alstom for electric buses can bring various benefits to cities and bus operators. SRS is a completely safe, ground-based, conductive and static charging system that allows on-board equipment to be automatically charged, such as when the bus is running on the road or in the parking lot, or can be "charged" when it is off duty. As a ground-based solution, the SRS system eliminates the need to build overhead infrastructure in the city, so as not to affect the aesthetic experience of the urban landscape. In the parking lot, SRS can also avoid the cost of building infrastructure related to overhead infrastructure, simplify maintenance to the greatest extent, and it is also compatible with the on-board access equipment on the parking spaces in the current parking lot. The SRS system is a scalable, interoperable, and non-dedicated system that is suitable for all types of buses and is not affected by different bus manufacturers or battery technologies.
The SRS system developed for electric buses is based on Alstom ’s SRS static charging technology for trams, which is a proven solution already in operation in Nice, France. For 15 years, Alstom has been developing and deploying wireless charging solutions to fully integrate the tram into the historic city center, both technically and aesthetically. Such APS and SRS solutions have been sold to 12 cities around the world and provide power for trams, supporting them to run more than 40 million kilometers.
